In these preChristmas days let me share some photos of pretty red leaves. It seems autumn leaves have arrived here in coastal California in December.
The above photos were all taken in our church parking lot in December.
Here is a sign I thought was humorous in a dark way. See if you think it is funny too, or can you guess why I thought it funny or ironic. I saw this whilst walking Bounce. The sign says "Please keep your dog off our LAWN."
I thought the sign was ironic because I do not see a lawn and there is not one blade of grass growing there. It is all dirt and weeds. Keep your dog off of our yard or Keep your dog off of our dirt might be more accurate. That would show the home owners have a sense of humor to laugh at themselves. Well, that's me and my sometimes dark sense of humor. And yes, I did keep Bounce off of their dirt.
Beautiful red leaves!
ReplyDeleteI like their optimism about the yard. 😄
The sign is funny. The yard looks like a dog dug it up already.
ReplyDeleteLovely leaf pictures.
Hmmm, maybe their "lawn" needs a little more "fertilizer."
ReplyDeleteThat's a good sign, LOL!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous autumn leaves - although for me (living in Sweden) that much colour in nature seems all wrong for the time of year...! ;)
ReplyDeleteI see where you will be getting some winter big time in the coming days. If you get that snow, let us blog readers know.
ReplyDeleteThe red leaves are so pretty. Rather like Christmas for sure!
ReplyDeletePretty leaves and ironic sign
ReplyDeleteLovely leaves. Ours are all brown and smushed under last week's snow ( which is now grey, not white). Funny sign, considering the lack of lawn!! Granny Marigold
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering why they care about dogs on the yard, with no grass!
Really: Keep your dog off of our yard or Keep your dog off of our dirt!!! Not a fine place for dear Bounce to make his sign! :))
ReplyDeleteRed leaves: Marvellous! Like Christmas-Stars!
LOL. Love the sign and their enthusiasm for their lawn. Funny. The red leaves are truly lovely. We don't get many of those in Florida. Enjoy your lovely fall/almost winter days!! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful red leaves any time of year. :)
ReplyDeleteThose red leaves in December are beautiful! Some of the prettiest I seen. That yard! Yes, the sign is funny. A dog in the yard might help the looks of that yard. :)
ReplyDeleteThose leaves look like the trees I see in my backyard. Funny to have colorful leaves in December. I expect the trees to be bare.
ReplyDeleteThe autumn leaves are very nice, beautiful colours.
ReplyDeleteDoes look a bit odd that sign being there.
Beautiful color on those tress.
ReplyDeleteThat sign is pretty funny considering what the yard looks like.
Those leaves are beautiful and I can't believe they are still around!
ReplyDeleteLOL- Love the sign....you are right---what yard? It makes me wonder though why people let their dogs go potty on other people's lawns (or dirt or yard). lol. Love the leaves -ours are long gone. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYour leaves are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd YES! That was an ironic sign, all right!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautful coloured leaves in December
Oh dear Terra your autumn colors from the church parking are enchanting! Gorgeous wow
ReplyDeleteHahaha I share your humor here my friend 😊
Thanks for your recent visit and comment on my blog, much appreciated. I really enjoy looking for the humor and irony in things around us and the sign definitely fits that category! The red leaves are perfect for this holiday season, thanks for Mother Nature.
ReplyDeletebeautiful bold autumn colors!! i see a lot of signs like that in this area. i have thought about getting one because many dog walkers allow their dog to use my lawn as a potty. right where i plant my flowers by the street!!
ReplyDeleteI’m thinking it’s an old sign - plus there are so many people who do not pick up after their dogs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog. I see you’re from Santa Cruz. I grew up in Pacifica. My sister lived in Watsonville and our good friends live in Prunedale and my husband lived in Moss Beach as a teen. Small world.
Pretty leaves. I’m up in Shasta County and we’ve finally lost all our Fall color which the recent cold snap. It was 28 degrees this morning. With the snow on the mountains, it’s really starting to look a lot like Christmas. God bless and Merry Christmas
Beautiful shades of red!
ReplyDeleteIt does not look inviting anyway! The trees are beautiful, though. Hope you have a lovely Christmas and blessings in the New Year. x
